Great Health Gifts: Philips BLU goLITE Light Therapy!

'Tis the season to shop for others, so until the end of the year, I'll be sharing some seasonal present picks that are sure to be health-conscious hits with those you're gifting, starting with one of my favorite items to ward off winter blues: The Philips goLITE BLU ($189), a portable form of light therapy that is getting rave reviews from people worldwide!

The Flip MinoHD: this pocket camcorder makes the perfect holiday gift

So I've been a big fan of the Flip camcorder for awhile. As an on the go Mom, I can appreciate something small and compact. And I'm a harried Mom, so capturing my kids on film doesn't happen too often - but having something like the Flip in my purse definitely increases the chances of my getting those special moments on tape.

I had the original Flip, but recently received a copy of the new Flip Video Mino HD for testing and I love it. The video quality is amazing - the HD definitely makes a difference, the picture is crystal clear.

iPod Pillow Speakers Give New Meaning to "Soft Rock"

Imagine you've just suffered through a rough day at work or school, or you've gone through some relationship woes, and now you're just ready to turn on your sulk mix or playlist of love songs so you can wallow in self-pity for a little while. Does snuggling up to a cold, hard speaker system sound comforting? Probably not. What your searching arms need is an iPod pillow speaker. Hug it, and it'll almost feel like your music is hugging you back in consolation. And, if the aforementioned situation really doesn't apply to you, at the very least, you will appear that much cooler in the eyes of your friends and family, thanks to your incognito speaker "system"!

A Home Massage a Day Keeps the Stress Away!

I love massages, but I don't love the fact that to get to a masseuse usually takes as long (if not longer) than the actual massage time. And then there's the bill, which isn't fun, either - especially in this economy. So, when I found out about the Therapeutic Massage at Home: Learn to Rub People the RIGHT Way! DVD, I was hoping it would teach me and my hubby a trick or two, and I wasn't disappointed.

Daily Dose of Style: Convertible Dresses

If you follow fashion and style magazines like me, you've probably heard of Butter by Nadia, the brand that discovered the ultimate wrap dress. It consistently gets highlighted in the press for its dresses that can be worn in a dozen or more different ways. I LOVE the concept, but not everyone can drop a couple hundred dollars just like that. Their cheapest dress, the jersey wrap dress, is priced at $238. Until I can save up for my very own Butter by Nadia piece, I'll settle for this Little Black Convertible Dress I found at Amazon.com, which converts 8 different ways including a skirt. It's just $31.99! Talk about an amazing find!

Underwear That Gives You an UnBUTTlievable Backside!

Ever wish for a little more "junk in the trunk?" You wouldn't be alone. So many women (and a number of men!) can't help but feel like something's lacking back there. Who could blame them? Media outlets keep us very aware that curves in all the right places are sexy nowadays. Magazines praise women who have perky "apple bottoms" and gush over men with firm "bubble butts". You need only to look at Kim Kardashian or JLo to feel unfairly underendowed!

Daily Dose of Style: Stud Earrings

What studs! Jewelry has always been about getting noticed. My earrings of choice these days are not chandeliers or hoops, but stud earrings. These hot stuff are back from the '80s and breaking onto the scene and oh how I'm falling for them. Diamond studs are a given (every girl must have a pair). I'm more into the charming, quirky and rocker-ish studs. In this mix below, you'll find the go-to designers for fashion jewelry (Betsey Johnson, Juicy Couture, Marc Jacobs). But in my search, I also discovered some new suspects (Tarina Tarantino, Andrew Hamilton Crawford, Rachel Leigh).

A Green & Novel Way To Get Your Eight Glasses A Day!

You've heard it all: drink tons of water because the human body is over 2/3rds water, ailments such as asthma and arthritis become less problematic, skin looks better and feels softer when you're hydrated, and many more bits of trivia that might make you want to put down your fruit juice. But there's a tasty tip that many water-hating people aren't aware of that can easily help to increase what you imbibe....

How to Shop for Diamonds

There are a handful of certainties in life, and one that is especially important for men to keep in mind is this: diamonds are a girl's best friend. The sparkle and symbolization are simply irresistible to the females of our species. But, as with all things in life, quality varies from low to high. Whether for gift-giving, for self-indulgence, for curiosity, for apology, for engagement or for marriage, you'll want to make sure you that get what you're paying for, if not better. Learn how to shop for diamonds on this week's Tutorial Tuesday.

Gift ideas for the fashion loving, landscape liking, good food cooking busy Mom

While other people are enjoying the wonderful fall foliage in the Northeast, I am already making my Holiday lists and checking them twice. I have thought about, budgeted and planned with the precision of a surgeon what my children, husband, other family members and all essential personnel in our lives, like my children's teachers and caregivers, will be getting for Christmas.

As I was creating my lists, I found myself thinking of all of the things that are on my wishlist for Christmas. I came up with the 12 things I would love to get this year. While I don't expect to get all of these things, I certainly would love to get some of them and if my husband starts shopping now, that should be doable, right??
